<p>Is it worth it? I'm thinking about taking this freshman cluster. I'm a physics major.</p>
<p>Depends what you mean by worth it. If you enjoy reading philosophy and learning about philosophers then it will be worth it in terms of enjoyment. For example I probably spent far mroe time and energy on my English classes than math classes in high school, but I thoroughly enjoyed it so it was 'worth' it for me.
If you're just looking at it in terms of work:grade ratio then it's not really worth it, there are easier classes out there.
It also gives honors credit, and a free writing class credit, so if you need those requirements then that will factor in.</p>

<p>try HMT for short.</p>
<p>has been discussed muchos...</p>
<p>You can always just take individual philosophy courses if you find the HMT syllabi dissatisfying for three quarters.</p>
<p>Don't take it! From everyone I've talked to its a horrible class</p>
<p>pages and pages and pages of reading...
but it's interesting/useful stuff
i learned more in that cluster than in any class i took freshman year
mostly because of the amount of reading and the instensity of the spring seminar</p>
<p>if you want an easy way to get through GEs don't take it
but if you are honestly interested in the syllabus and dont mind a bit of a challenge (compared to other options) then take it</p>
